SPJIMR, Mumbai

SPJIMR is situated in a plush 40 acres campus in Andheri West, Mumbai. We have 4 specializations in our flagship 2 year PGDM course- Finance, Marketing, Operations and Supply Chain Management, Information Management. It is one of the few colleges in India where admission is based on merit and not on reservation of any sort. Apart from this the admission is broken up into two sectors: Profile Based and Score Based. This ensures a crowd which is very diverse in nature, case in point being I study with someone who is an actor in the Bengali film industry, a singer in the Marathi film industry, someone who is a nail artist, a cricketer for Jharkhand, an MS in physics employed in the R & D of Mercedes Benz, CAs, Digital Marketers and many more. Each of them brings their own unique traits which miraculously amalgamates into this glorious pool of resources and experiences for everyone to draw from. The pedagogy involves education through group work. Hence all through the 2 years, every assignment and project that one works on is in a group. This imbibes team spirit, fraternity and provides access to the collective knowledge and experience. Another great differentiator of SPJIMR is the Global FastTrack program where PGDM participants get to study advanced courses at top colleges in USA (Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Darden, and Booth) for a month. Apart from this students spend their first year mentoring an under privileged kid. At the end of the second semester they travel abroad (Colombia, Vietnam) and in India for rural immersion program of 5 weeks. This is how SPJIMR uses top notch management knowledge to give back to the society as well .Placement statistics are reliable since they are audited by a government body. Faculty is world class. Our in-house faculty fly out for guest lectures and we also fly in some professors from colleges abroad (Europe, America, and Japan) to teach us. All in all, strength in diversity is our biggest success story.

SPJIMR lags in basic Infrastructure required for a good MBA college. There is the dearth of rooms during placements, hostels are 3 seaters, hostel mess is not up to the mark, etc. A new academic block is already under construction with world class facilities. Open auditoriums can add spark to the dull life here. Common hostels for boys and girls make the hostel life more lively. College professors are the best you can find in this field and can be easily compared to those in IIM - A B C or L. Strength of SPJAIN lies in the profile of the students. The basic process of admission at SPJAIN ensures that the quality of students is of paramount importance to the institute. The fee is quite nominal compared to other B-schools. Overall I think that my decision to opt for this institute is worth it and it will add a brand to my life.

SPJIMR, one of the top ten b-schools in the country, is all about the Bhawan's legacy. Our college lies inside the Bhawan's Campus. Further infrastructure development activities to expand the academic block are underway. Additionally, the college is implementing several measures to improve corporate exposure like organizing interactive events with company officials. It is also a cultural center with all major festivals like Eid, Ganesh Chaturthi being celebrated with gusto by participants and faculty alike. They add to the Spartan experience. Placement opportunities for Marketing and IM specializations are marginally better. The hostels are very well equipped and maintained in comparison to many others with good disciplinary practices. We have exceptional faculty members. The student crowd is diverse and very supportive of each other. The college fees are relatively higher due to the inclusion of GFT costs.

The campus of SPJIMR is a bit small; but we do have well-equipped study rooms, library, playgrounds and smaller rooms but well-maintained hostels. Being at the heart of the industrial capital of the country, SPJIMR has to offer a wide variety of corporate sessions, seminars and guest lectures on different topics. For me, college life is all about the people I spend my 2 years with. The student crowd was very diverse and very talented, which was a great learning experience in itself. By having very good placements and many non-academic activities, SPJIMR is affordable.

My experience in this institute is good as the course is still going on . It's only been 5 months of learning in this institute . The duration of my course is 18 months. The course covers everything about one's family business which includes marketing,consumer behaviour,managing self,financial accounting,financial statements and much more to be taught to us. We are a strength of 108 students in this particular batch.The batch is further divided into 2 divisions.Our batch is known as FMB21, which means family managed business and 21 is the 21st batch of this particular course.The campus is spread over 50 acres of lush greenery and playgrounds all around.The benefit of this course is that one gets to know about several businesses and trades in the country and gets to know about every state of the nation by knowing the students as the course is always having students coming from every part of the country.There are students of every age group starting from 21 to 40 years old.This institute is best at providing the exposure and has the best supply chain when compared to other institutes.These 5 months of my learning in this institute have taught me a lot about the market,people and yes obviously about the business.
